Discussion How did you know of SS and what was your first impression?

Wow, some of you people are bold, I'd never have dared to search for anything explicit like "how to hang myself". Even less explicit terms like "poisonous plants" had me worried, when I was looking for books about them. Needless to mention, I'd never trust an AI to mention anything even vaguely hinting at suicide.

I think it's all for the better that I've been banned from Facebook! This is a much better place for me than Facebook; here we're all in the same boat somehow, in a similar dark place; I might still make some friends while I'm here and I don't need to worry that they'll be all too hurt when I'll eventually be gone because here everyone is expecting that it may happen.

I did a general search for the subject and found an article that did a deep dive into the contents of this website. They even went through people profiles to see peoples activity to determine if they did "it" They were totally being invasive and nosy and trying to find somebody to blame. Personally, I dont think there is anybody to blame, I think a lot of people are in pain and they get tired of using all their preventative methods such as calling the one eight hundred numbers that usually pop up when you search for the subject. It gives a realistic and much needed take on what and how to proceed or not. Its a realistic resource and allows people to discuss freely and I really do just appreciate that.
